freedomben: Nice, I've now created dozens of little personal tools like this now :-)This is IMHO the killer AI feature for personal use. So many utlities I never would have spent time on are now within reach. Even just non-trivial bashrc aliases and functions

vcf: Yeah, I completely agree. It's awesome to be able to build anything you want (as long as it's not too complex). I, too, have at least a dozen, and I usually don't share, but with the playoffs starting, I felt others could enjoy this one.
cr125rider: Super fun! Nice job shipping!
j45: Different sport though, but neat visualizations.
j45: The missing interface from sports.
rangersny1: Nice! In practice, how far behind the TV broadcast does it end up being?
vcf: Not too much, but it’s using a Rest API, so it also depends on the refresh rate (default 30 seconds, configurable with cli argument).
james-clef: Wicked. Who is your team?
vcf: Go Habs Go!
embedding-shape: > It's awesome to be able to build anything you want (as long as it's not too complex).That's the thing. It was always awesome, as long as it wasn't too complex. The only thing that changed for me what was "too complex".
embedding-shape: > Acknowledgments - This project was inspired by Playball, a similar terminal application for following MLB baseball games.Should've gone for something generalized that could handle a bunch of different games, instead of just another sport, so someone caring about multiple sports don't need multiple TUIs :)
itsnh98: Go Habs!
zawakin: Same — similar pile accumulating, and GitHub has fallen way behind. I keep going back and forth on whether a monorepo is the right answer or if it'd just make the sprawl more legible without actually helping. How are you organizing yours?
cyberax: What next? Perhaps a small scripting language to run on the side of the terminal?You know, just to make some simple automations possible, nothing super-special.
